- Some people conducted recon; either in person or through camera systems.
- Some people conducted research; searching the deep web and other things for important information.
- The group went to the Grand Observatory for the event.

- The party was able to discover that the JumpSec guards on duty were actually members of the pirate gang: Groid's Raiders.
- Allei met a SUPER FAN of HORST'S named RYAN. Originally, his uneasy and suspicious behavior was a red flag, but it soon revealed he was no threat--aside from wanting an autograph.
- Vela attempted to warn CHANX, the other speaker at the event, about an impending attack via a psionic message. He accepted the warning, but threw in a threat against Vela if she lied.

- VELA threw herself in head first; utilizing twin daggers and her psionic powers.
- On the news, the garnish caption of HORST LIVES! blasted story clips.
- Renowned scientist Horst Tappelkhirre, a JumpCorp researcher, was thought to have died six years in the tragic destruction of the research vessel known as INNOVATION. The ship was destroyed in the orbit of AITE and Tappelkhirre and his colleagues were thought to be lost.
- In a remote part of the KALLISTI REACH, a derelict escape pod was located with none other than Tappelkhirre located in it. The deader's unique physiology is thought to be the cause of his survival.
- HORST gave a small speech; claiming that the pilot had crash landed on the surface of AITE where he had spent a month marooned before he and his colleagues jury-rigged an escape pod together. All of his colleagues were lost. It is believed that his escape pod has drifted for close to five years until it was recently discovered.
- The group revealed some information they had each come across...
- Nikki found out that the company that helped trained her is sending a security team compromised of people like her to bring her back.
- AUW revealed his company is field testing a few drugs and requested that those who were willing in the party, partake in their testing.
- The group found $5,000 worth of salvage accidentally delivered to their docking bay, which they in turn were able to pawn.
- The group was tapped by Wacha for a job...
- The JumpCorp executive, Maruul Soteeg, has decided to tap the group again and arrange a job.
- The group met with Soteeg at Kallisti Apple; she seemed nervous, but conducted the meeting in 'public' in a corner of the night club.
- She believed that HORST'S life might be in danger due to external and internal threats. As a result, she wanted the group to protect and watch over him during a press conference. She did not want the group to reveal themselves unless necessary, or reveal their connection to her.
- The press conference will be at the Grand Observatory on the Public Walk. In addition to HORST, the group needs to make sure that JumpCorp subsector administrator Chanx Oblios is kept safe.
- Soteeg will pay the group $500 each, with it being changed to $2,000 each if there's danger.
